This week, it’s all draft, all the time. And in honor of the upcoming festivities, it’s time for NFL Draft Trivia – Hall of Fame Edition.

Here are fifteen questions – ten league-wide, and five Washington Redskins-specific – to test your knowledge of that nexus between the annual draft and the hallowed shrine in Canton, plus two bonus questions for which I am not providing answers. I was always better at asking questions, anyway. Get half of these right without the use of Wikipedia, and you win some serious bragging rights.

QUESTIONS

1.      How many number one/number ones (first pick of the first round) have been elected into the Hall of Fame?

2.      What draft class has the most Hall of Fame players?

3.      For the years preceding 2000, how many draft classes have laid a goose egg – producing zero Hall of Famers?

4.      What draft class featured the most future Hall of Famers in the first round?

5.      How many selections made after the 200th pick in a draft have been elected to the Hall of Fame as players?

6.      Who is the lowest drafted player (draft number – not necessarily round) to get into the Hall of Fame?

7.      Has a player chosen in the Supplemental Draft ever been elected into the Hall of Fame?

8.      What draft saw four of its top five picks eventually elected into the Hall of Fame? And, for a bonus, who was the outlier in the group?

9.      Who is the most recent draftee to make it into the Hall of Fame?

10.   Who is the most recent undrafted free agent to make it into the Hall of Fame?

11.   How many Hall of Fame players have the Redskins drafted?

12.   Clinton Portis and Marlin McKeever share an odd distinction in Redskins history. What is it?

13.   How many eventual Hall of Famers drafted by other teams played at least five years for the Redskins?

14.   How many eventual Hall of Famers played just one year for the Redskins?

15.   Who was the last Redskins draft pick to be elected into the Hall of Fame?

BONUS QUESTIONS (No answers provided)

B1. In the 1960s, there was one draft in which a future Hall of Fame draft pick shared the same last name as an UDFA from the same year who also would make the Hall. What was the year and who were the players?

B2. One player in the 2020 HOF class has the same last name as a recent Redskins draft pick who is currently on the active roster. What is that name?
